Oh yeah, this bit was totally do-able, but within a mile it was a downhill rocky track with car tyre ruts. Again, do-able, just slowly with careful line choice. Just reminded me of this thread and the recent chat about what 'gravel' entails in the UK. I guess 'multi surface' would be a better term but that probably doesn't sell many bikes.
Edit: the second photo i walked because I'm unfit and it was the last climb, nothing to do with the bike.

Yeah I tiny-ified it. It's a Salsa Casseroll. Build thread here . Defo under-biked for parts of this route, but it's light enough that it's no hassle to just shoulder it and walk down short sections where it turned to 20% grade rutted Jeep tracks.
